Nook not recognised
Hi there,
I just bought a Nook STR, downloaded Calibre and tried to start building up a nice digital library. However, I can't get my older version of Calibre (0.7.28) to recognise my new Nook. Updating Calibre isn't an option, since my Macbook is too old for this (10.4). Is there a solution for this? Also, Calibre refuses to open the books I downloaded for free, because they are DRM-protected. Shouldn't I be able to read free, old books in any programm? How do I fix this? Thanks for helping me! Greetings from rainy Holland, Joanneke |

If the Nook can show as a disk drive , use save to disk (the Nook). All you lose is Calibre Device features like 'On Device', auto selecting the best format to read. You might try setting 'Connect to folder' (again, the Nook) and see how that plays

 My last 2 new Laptops (7 year spread) have dropped connectivity options that I previously used. I bought a PCMCIA COM1: adapter to make up (this was a MSDOS machine, where USB converters don't fly) for the loss of the COM port . I also had a PCMCIA SCSI card for my Scanner and Zip drive (remember those  )The latest laptop has no: PCMCIA, COM#:, SCSI, LPT#: (it gained ports I don't need yet)At least you can use your Nook. Unfortunately, you are missing out on some really  newer Calibre features.
